Chapter 31 Film Critics Rave About Su Han! A Heartfelt Conversation with Zhang Yuqi

That evening, Hei Su Han had an overwhelming number of drafts.

Su Han had trended on hot searches multiple times.

#Su Han Egged at Premiere#

#Su Han Shades Zhang Zhan#

#Su Han Bought His Way Into the Project#

...

There were countless hot searches like these.

Clicking into any of them, the comments were all cursing Su Han; not a single person wasn't.

And the insults were incredibly harsh.

"Heh, trash, he deserved to be hit with eggs!"

"Sigh, what a shame it didn't hit him!"

"We were originally planning to let him off the hook, but who knew he'd shade our Zhang Zhan, he's too detestable!"

"Trash who bought his way into the project, what kind of garbage acting is that, even ghosts wouldn't watch! His acting is definitely not as good as our idol's!"

"Heh, is he an extra? You guys really believe his sob story! I certainly don't!"

There wasn't a single decent comment. Ninety percent of the people sided with Zhang Zhan, and the remaining ten percent were just onlookers, there to watch the chaos.

Yep.

As expected, on the night of the premiere, Su Han was once again targeted by baseless attacks.

Seeing these haters, Su Han had become immune.

However!

Later in the evening!

Many critics and reporters who had finished watching Su Han's movie could no longer stand by and watch.

The critics began to speak out one after another.

Leveraging the heat surrounding Su Han's acting, they posted one film review after another.

These reviews were all full of praise for Su Han.

"#Feng Yuxiu's single thought leads to Buddhahood, another to demonhood! This character is perhaps my favorite character in all the films I've seen this year. Perhaps it's not the character I like, but rather that newcomer actor Su Han was able to portray such a character so well.#

#In 'The Bullet Train', the scene that moved me the most was when Feng Yuxiu killed his beloved wife. Su Han's portrayal had no tears throughout, but I could tell his heart was broken. His performance made me see for the first time that sorrow could be depicted so vividly without a single tear. Su Han, this newcomer actor is truly amazing, I pay tribute to him!#”

#I saw many posts online before saying Su Han bought his way into the project, which led me to believe he had absolutely no acting skills. But today, after watching the movie, I was deeply shaken. Su Han successfully overturned my perception of him. His acting is superb, especially when contrasted with Zhang Zhan, I find him even more remarkable. What kind of acting is Zhang Zhan even doing? It's too tragic to have been attacked for half a month, Su Han, I support you!#

#Today I watched the movie 'The Bullet Train'. I was won over by one person, and that person wasn't Donnie Yen, he was Su Han. I don't know his background, nor do I know what he's been through, I just want to say he truly brought a character to life. When I saw the character Feng Yuxiu, I knew this character was a success! If you're not mad, you can't live. Su Han successfully portrayed this character. Every time I saw Feng Yuxiu, I got goosebumps, I was truly scared. This character is a success! Su Han is awesome!#

#As someone invited to the premiere of 'The Bullet Train' today. I never had a good impression of Su Han, who has been dominating the headlines for half a month as this supposed project-buyer. But until today, after watching his performance as Feng Yuxiu, I was shocked, deeply shocked. While I was shocked by his acting, I was also shocked by someone else, and that person was Zhang Zhan. Damn it, Zhang Zhan's fans keep bragging about how great his acting is, but today I watched it, and I just want to ask, where is the greatness? Zhang Zhan, where the hell is your acting?! I suspect these hot searches attacking Su Han for the past half a month were orchestrated by your team, weren't they?#

...

Four film reviews were posted on Weibo. The critics who posted them were all very popular and influential, with millions, even tens of millions of followers.

As soon as their reviews were published, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Netizens quickly showed up to spectate, to comment, and to flood the comments with their opinions.

In just half an hour, these reviews quickly gained traction and directly climbed to the top few spots on Weibo's hot search list!

Those netizens who had been cursing Su Han also began to surface.

"What the hell??? What's going on? Did these critics take money? Why are they all speaking up for this Su Han?"

"No way, even if they're speaking for Su Han, they're also subtly attacking our idol, saying our idol has no acting skills? What the heck?"

"Speechless, utterly speechless. They're praising him to the heavens, I don't believe his acting is really that good! This is clearly paid for."

"Heh, stop the hype. It'll be embarrassing if the movie comes out and proves you wrong."

"Yeah, if it proves you wrong, it'll be awkward."

"Damn it, this makes me so angry, they actually said our idol has no acting skills? A joke! Zhang Zhan's acting is definitely a million times better than this trash!"

Following the release of these film reviews praising Su Han, Zhang Zhan's fans went into a frenzy, acting like madmen, extremely fervent.

This group of frenzied fans started another fan war, cursing Su Han in the comment section, attacking Su Han from every angle.

They were genuinely attacking just for the sake of attacking!

As Su Han was about to go to bed, he heard movement outside his door. When he opened it, Zhang Yuqi had returned.

She was wearing a very short, body-hugging black dress, her bare legs appearing fair and striking.

After tonight, Su Han might never see this woman who had been unsettling him every day again.

"You're back? So early tonight?"

Zhang Yuqi was smiling, her face flushed, likely from having had a little to drink.

"Of course, aren't we moving out tomorrow? I came back to pack. You're moving out tomorrow too, right?"

"Yes! Moving tomorrow."

"Come on, let's chat tonight. Since we're both leaving tomorrow, we might not have another chance."

Zhang Yuqi suggested.

"Sure."

Then, they each grabbed a stool and sat by the door.

"I saw your hot searches today, was it true someone threw eggs at you at the premiere?"

"Yes. Too many anti-fans, it's unavoidable."

"But your speech on stage was really cool. I'm almost becoming your fan."

"However, the current idol fandom just likes chasing young idols. In my opinion, you're not inferior to those young idols at all, you're much more charismatic than them!"

"Sister, you flatter me."

"Friends in the industry who saw your movie said you acted well, they said you were terrifying and scared them half to death."

"I really want to see if it's as exaggerated as they say, I almost thought they were paid by you, you don't know how exaggerated they were."

"When your movie is released, I'll definitely go see it!"

Hearing Zhang Yuqi's words, Su Han smiled.

"How about you? Did your premiere go smoothly today?"

She nodded, "Yes!"

"It went quite smoothly. It seems our movies are both releasing on May Day, I'll go see your movie, and you can go see mine. Deal?"

"Deal."

"Sigh, the entertainment industry is really hard to navigate. Being attacked now, in my opinion, might not be a bad thing. Extreme criticism can lead to great fame, perhaps you'll become famous after this. I might have to look up to you then and beg for a bite of your food."

Zhang Yuqi said with a laugh.

"There's a real possibility. So treat me well now, and I'll give you something to eat later."

"Hahaha!"

To Zhang Yuqi, Su Han's words were a joke, but to Su Han, they were not jokes at all, but genuine thoughts.

His plan for his future in the entertainment industry was roughly this:

In the early stages, he would act, portraying villainous roles well. If possible, moving towards an international level would be even better.

Then, in the mid to late stages, after achieving success and accumulating some capital, he could start directing himself.

Further down the line, with more money, he could directly become a capitalist, controlling and operating the entertainment industry.

Yeah, that would be awesome!

Thinking this, Su Han felt a swell of happiness.

They chatted all night, and towards the end, Zhang Yuqi quietly told Su Han something.

She said she had recently started dating a very wealthy boyfriend, a real estate tycoon.

Her boyfriend was very influential and could help her secure a lot of resources in the entertainment industry, so her future development was worry-free.

She also asked if Su Han needed any help, and Su Han thought for a moment, finding no immediate need for assistance.

But upon further reflection, thinking of Yang Chaoyue's situation, he casually asked if she could help find a reliable agency with good resources to take care of Yang Chaoyue.

Zhang Yuqi readily agreed, "Consider it done!"

"I'll get back to you on that."

Su Han wasn't surprised at all that Zhang Yuqi had found a powerful figure to be with.

After all, many successful actresses started their careers this way.
